David Eastman: Australia; Will he be permitted to offer fresh evidence to explain gunshot residue in his car? His "last hope." The Canberra Times.

STORY: "Eastman's last hope rests with Corbell," by reporter Noel Towell, published in the Canberra Times on March 10, 2012.

GIST: "Fresh evidence recently has emerged that Eastman says could explain the presence of gunshot residue in his car, a key issue in his controversial 1995 trial. A witness has come forward with a gun he used rabbit shooting after borrowing Eastman's car. Eastman can ask Mr Corbell for an executive order for an inquiry to examine the new evidence. A new inquiry ordered by Mr Corbell could also look at the issue of new evidence as well as the hotly disputed testimony of ballistics expert Robert Barnes as well as other aspects of Eastman's conviction. Convicted police killer David Harold Eastman's last chance to have his case re-opened is a renewed appeal to ACT Attorney-General Simon Corbell."
